Peddling fender tags for big bucks

[Sixpactogo]

We all know what opinions are good for. But, I'm just wondering what others think about this kind of activity. Personally, I think it should be against the law. No wonder there are so many missing fender tags.

None of those look to be from desirable cars. I agree, this is ridiculous and should be against the law.

 

[Manzolds]

Yeah, making such tags available will call into question the legitimacy of any car that does not have the original build sheet.

Since it is not against the law, looks like the ebay'r found a niche for himself.

It is horrible that someone can get a hold of these tags to make a car into what it never was and compete with legitimate cars with same attributes.

Selling these tags for $400.00, it is with obvious malintent that a person would pay this much for such an item, unless the tag could be perfectly matched up with factory documentation.

I bet he sells the one from the 69 Charger for big bucks.

But he has 100% positive feedback.

My worry’s would be compounded with the screen name Hackworth.

We probably have a member by that name who will flame me now.

Wow! Didn't see that. Who every buys it should go to jail with him.

What would he be charged with?

 

[khryslerkid]

Advertise it as a wall hanger and it's okay!

That is the trouble. No laws against being a con man until you follow through and actually get caught and convicted.

I do not think you can pass on or sell titles without the car legally anywhere.

 

[Tony Tee]

I don't see a use for them unless you found out that it matched your car.
My 78 dodge magnums tag is missing and would be happy to find it. but $400 is way too much for a car that isn't worth much.

There are others who reproduce tags for parts.

A reproduction distributor tag or radiator tag will surely increase their value, but it is still a fake.

I believe this is detrimental to our hobby.

It will be hard to spot the fakes and the cars that are correct will suffer.

It should be against the law. No different than VIN swapping. I'm sure there are individuals out there peddling fender tags for desirable cars, probably copying them too. Dishonesty, it never ends.

I agree. It is pretty obvious what these bozo's (seller and buyer) have in mind. Who else would try to sell a title and tags for any amount without the vehicle. And who else would spend $3000.00 for them without the vehicle.

Not just the cars. Somebody wanting a desirable car would get burned for a lot of money. Some people get emotional about " that car " , and it clouds their judgment. People who sell those cars should get a severe "blanket party"

I doubt Ebay will shut the guy down but I did bring it to their attention. They more than likely have no clue how many problems this activity creates. I know it goes on behind closed doors but this is pretty bald faced IMO.

I didn't know it was a British car!

 

[Thrashingcows]

I'm taking the original tag off my coronet and putting it somewhere safe, I have a few tags from junkyard cars I saved over the years...might use a mid 70's T/C wagon tag on it just to make people scratch their heads.
